Looks fantastic! Great idea, great way to make chess a bit physical (without boxing)!
Must have been a lot of work to mark out the area
Very inspirational!
My only feed would be that the pieces look a bit small in those boxes why not 24mx24m? (divisible by 8?
In may 2024, we organized a game of blitz chess on a 30 by 30 meter field. It was a unique experience where stamina was as important as chess skills.
We discussed the rules for a while and came up with 60 seconds on the clock with an 8 second increment. This resulted in a good mix between stamina and wit. Lower skilled players had a hard time keeping track of the board but the better players were able to play decent games while sometimes having to compromise due to physical limitations. It really stretched our physical and mental capabilities at the same time. At the end of the day we enabled the players to reach the clock on both sides of the field which made it better in our opinion as players tended to utilize only the side of the board close to the clock.
We made a compilation video and a video of a whole game, I wonder what you guys think!
